Japanese Garden

This week, the animals came. If you ask me — and you’re reading this, so I’m gonna interpret that as a solid yes — raising kids, dogs, and cats is hard, but keeping plants alive is harder. That said, I absolutely adore having a Japanese-influenced design added to my beloved money pit. It’s everything IContinueContinue reading “Japanese Garden”

One Year Anniversary

In honor of one year’s time writing this blog, here’s my favorite of the photos I’ve posted. Thanks for giving me your time, from time to time. May it continue.

Das Boots

Necessity is the mother of invention, or something. An ambivert navigating the time of Delta, phone camera in hand, waiting for an outdoor table in the local social district. Shot on Google Pixel 3, ƒ/1.8, 1/412, 4.44mm, ISO58, black and white filter.

Whither Thou Goghest

I’ll say one thing for the immersive Van Gogh exhibit at the TCF Center in Detroit this summer: it’s an art display like none other. One might even debate whether it’s actually displaying art at all, since there are no actual paintings in the entire exhibit. The first thing I ever learned about Van GoghContinueContinue reading “Whither Thou Goghest”

Pretty Good Year

My significant other and I brought in my birthday late last night by watching “Val”, an autobiopic (is that a thing?) by one of my childhood crushes whose life has taken twists and turns both tremendous and tragic. The film took us on a journey through his life up to now, the good days andContinueContinue reading “Pretty Good Year”

Best Guitarist in Detroit

You can do a helluva lot worse than listening to Dylan Dunbar completely shred it for three hours. Shot on Google Pixel 3, f/1.8, 1/210, 4.44mm, ISO 56, black and white filter.

And The Beat Goes On

Concerts in a dangerous time. Thanks to The Whiskey Charmers for keeping us grateful. Shot on Google Pixel 3, ƒ/1.8, 1/1466, 4.44mm, ISO55, black and white filter.

Reflecting on the Band

Enjoyed another great set by The Whiskey Charmers, and added another shot to the ole wine glass portfolio. Pretty good day. Shot on Google Pixel 3, ƒ/1.8, 1/1067, 4.44mm, ISO50, black and white filter.

Getting Into Getting Out

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -That perches in the soul -And sings the tune without the words -And never stops – at all -And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard -And sore must be the storm -That could abash the little BirdThat kept so many warm -I’ve heard it in the chillestContinueContinue reading “Getting Into Getting Out”

Rediscovering Detroit – Take Ten – The Whiskey Charmers

Country noir? Concrete Blonde meets the Sundays? Journal-esque lyrics a la Fiona Apple if you replaced bluesy angst with goofy sci fi horror folk? The Whiskey Charmers are a bit hard to pin down. Which I adore. Even so, I tip my hat to the band for selecting this description on their Facebook page, whichContinueContinue reading “Rediscovering Detroit – Take Ten – The Whiskey Charmers”
